The FIDE World Cup, now a traditional biennial chess event, is taking place from 1 to 26 November at the Resort Rio in Goa, India.
All matches consist of two classical games with a time control of 90 minutes for 40 moves, plus 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment from move 1
In case of a tie, a playoff takes place on the round’s third day. The tiebreak consists of two 25+10 rapid games followed, if needed, by two 10+10 ‘slow blitz’ games, then two 5+3 blitz games. If the score remains tied, then one sudden death game will decide the match, with the following rules in place:
- White shall have 4 minutes + 2 seconds increment per move, starting from move 1.
- Both players shall submit a time bid – specifying how much starting time they are willing to play with as Black, also with a 2-second increment per move, starting from move 1. A bid cannot be more than 4 minutes. The player who submits the lowest time wins the bid and plays with Black. If the players make exactly the same bid, Black starts with that amount of time; a drawing of lots shall determine the colours.
- If the sudden death game is drawn, Black will win the match.
